Why read it?
1 author picked Crown Duel as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I have to recommend this book first because it is one that has stayed with me through the years and inspired my own writing. It features one of my favorite reluctant heroines, Meliara Astiar, as she battles against a tyrant king in the land of Remalna. As the countess of a backwater province, Mel has little understanding of the complicated politics of the capital.

From Lyra's list on YA fantasy with magic and intrigue.
